Cultural and linguistic competence

ICN Position:

The International Council of Nurses (ICN) and its member organisations

believe that nurses should be culturally and linguistically competent to

understand and respond effectively to the cultural and linguistic needs of

clients, families and communities in a health care encounter.1

ICN believes that nurses should demonstrate cultural competence2

by:

developing an awareness of one’s own culture without letting it have

an undue influence on those from other backgrounds;

demonstrating knowledge and understanding of different cultures;
accepting that there may be differences between the cultural beliefs

and values of the health care provider and the client;

accepting and respecting cultural differences;
adapting care to be congruent with the client’s culture and

expectations; and

providing culturally appropriate care so as to deliver the best possible

client outcomes.

ICN believes clients have a right to culturally and clinically appropriate care

delivery provided by the appropriate person in the health care team.

ICN believes, however, that accepting and respecting cultural differences and

adapting care to be congruent with the client’s culture should not result in

nursing practice that would be in contravention of professional codes of ethics,

nursing practice standards, legal frameworks or United Nations human rights

conventions. Nurses have an obligation to safeguard, respect and actively

promote people’s health rights at all times and in all places3

. Nurses need to

be vigilant in this area particularly with respect to vulnerable groups such as

women, children, elderly, refugees and stigmatised groups.

ICN strongly supports nurses developing linguistic competence by

understanding and responding effectively to the linguistic needs brought by

the client to the health care encounter. Such means as being able to

communicate directly in the client’s own language or through the use of

trained interpreters and qualified translators are required.

For public protection, nurses need to communicate verbally and in writing in a

manner sensitive to client needs and in language that can be clearly

understood with the assistance of trained interpreters and qualified translators

if needed. Failure of the nurse to accurately comprehend client needs or if the

client is not able to understand advice and instruction given can result in

errors.

Cultural and linguistic competence, page 2/3

ICN expects employers to provide all newly hired nurses with an appropriate

orientation or a period of adaptation to ensure they have the means of

addressing the cultural and linguistic needs of their client group.

ICN firmly believes that nurses are responsible and accountable for their

nursing practice. When dealing with clients from a cultural or linguistic group

different from their own, nurses should be aware that additional steps may

need to be taken to ensure interventions are sensitive to the client’s cultural

and linguistic needs.

Background

The way a client perceives illness, the specific disease and its associated

symptoms are tied to the client’s underlying cultural values and beliefs. The

manner in which a person responds to these factors and how they relate to

the nurse will be influenced by these values and beliefs and can affect the

understanding and acceptance of any care offered.

Nurses provide care designed to meet the individual needs of the client. This

client centeredness has the goal of ensuring that the client’s physical,

psychosocial and cultural needs and beliefs are taken into account when

deciding on interventions and that clients have the necessary information to

participate in their own care.

In the broad sense, diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. For

nurses it means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognising

individual differences. These differences may span the dimensions of race,

ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical

abilities, spiritual or religious beliefs, political beliefs or other ideologies.

Cultural and linguistic competence require cultural awareness; the deliberate,

cognitive process in which health care providers become appreciative and

sensitive to the values, beliefs, practices and problem solving strategies of

clients’ cultures.4

A person’s culture forms an important part of their identity and communication

of cultural understanding and respect is an essential tool in forming a

therapeutic relationship with the client.

Linguistic competence is demonstrated by a nurse who has the capacity to

communicate effectively and convey information in a manner that is easily

understood.5

Nonverbal and verbal communication may differ in meaning according to

different cultures. Awareness of this is vital in order to avoid

misunderstanding, lack of cooperation or offence.

Cultural and linguistic competence, page 3/3

Assistance may be provided to nurses and individuals through services such as

translation and interpretation. Translation is the process of transferring, between

languages, ideas that are expressed in writing. Interpretation is the process

used in transferring ideas expressed orally or (as with sign language) by

gesture.
